Clutch cable
« on: May 08, 2020, 12:58:57 PM »



Years ago I bought a backup cable for my 1995 K75 standard
I bought the 1625MM long
I should have bought the 1510 MM
Has anybody used the long cable on a
standard K instead of the short cable

It depends upon what you mean by standard K. Unless the Brick is a stock C with a C-style handlebar or a stock S with an S-style handlebar, the standard came with an RT-style handlebar and that would accommodate the longer cable. You shouldn't have a problem. I had that length cable on my moto when it had the RT bar and used it when I had the shorter C-bar.

I am using the clutch cable from the Standard K on the RS without issues.
Only about 4" longer...

I know it’s not a C, RS or an Lt (just a plain Jane)
I would say it’s closer to an LT
